Open Letter to Senator Frist about the Chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee

Senator Frist,

I implore you not to allow Senator Specter to become chairman of the Judiciary. His recent arrogance about judges that President Bush should and should not appoint is feckless liberalism at its worst. The assumptive power he pretends to own is not his yet and should not be his.

As a Republican volunteer in Virginia and Florida I would be sorely disappointed if Specter is put in as the Chairman. We worked countless hours to elect President Bush and for specific reasons. The obligation of the ruling majority is to listen to the people who put you there. Please do not mistake our current enthusiasm and support for the Republican victory as license to ignore our base values. We will not soon forget such an outrage.

On a lighter note: Congratulations for the well deserved victory. We are amazed at the courage and hours you and your colleagues put in for this election. It is well deserved!
